Sixty Fiver, I wish I had read your post before I took everything off. Putting that cable back through the derailleur was a pain in the butt.

Thanks for the help everyone

Good to hear.

That pretty cable routing comes at a cost... but once you do it a few times it gets easier.

The Mk2 is a little harder to route cable through than the Mk1 and when I am installing them I remove the derailleur to thread the cable through and then tighten the cable once it is back on the bike. Trying to reinstall a used cable in a Cyclone can be very hard as any stray wire end will makes things really hard.

These are good candidates for the use of soldered cable ends.
